    ****WOW****

    This gives me a goal to collect over $1000 at registration next year.

    I should of taken a picture at the massive pile of food and supplies that was donated.

    BTW, not all of XIEK's donations came from the Parade, some was from people stuffing ones in his belt during Karaoke.

    Nice to hear we raised a good sum of money and food. I was planning on bringing food but forgot, glad you were taking cash at registration.

    Thanks to everyone for your patronage and for buying the patches and Boulderdash shirts which made that donation possible. And special thanks to COOPERation for providing the designs for both those products. Great job everyone!
